I ran three rounds of pre-clear with a brand new WD Red, and got the following error on the third run, full log attached. It says SMART error, but I don't see an error below.
Log shows earlier events:
Not exactly descriptive, but looks more like a pre-clear script error than a drive error? Or is the drive DOA?
(Forum doesn't work properly with Ghostery, and code snippet puts it all in one line wtf)
